We suggest that plan members work closely with their provider to coordinate their health care needs. You do not need referrals for visits with specialists. Please include your PCP s information when you sign up for your health plan. Preventive Services Office visit copays for network providers depend on the type of provider you see.

6 - Value Index This - Value Index offers more specific information which Tufts Health Plan used in determining whether a hospital was grouped in Tier 1, Tier 2, or Tier 3 on the Navigator Inpatient Hospital List. The index illustrates each hospital s quality score and its cost score, giving you more information to make decisions about where to seek care. Individual hospital information is based on a quartile system. For example, a hospital with a quality score in the top 25 percent will receive four stars, and conversely, a hospital with a quality score in the bottom 25 percent will receive one star.
